   Pass/Fail:

   Good job expanding and sourcing the article!

Additional suggestions

I was asked for additional comments on my talk page; I'm inserting the suggestions here for the record:

• The soundtrack information is pretty vague. Based on what information there is in the article and the games title itself, a reader can infer that the soundtrack is based mostly on oldies music. However, that's where the information stops. According to the oldies article, this can mean music anywhere from 1950 to 1972. Soundtrack isn't always a major aspect of games, but in this game, the title of the game itself seems linked to the theme of the soundtrack. I get the impression that the soundtrack is an important aspect of this game and it's severely lacking in information. The lead says 50s, but the body doesn't specify. In a nutshell: could the information on the soundtrack be expanded?
• When was the game conceived? When was it developed? How long did development take?
• The reception section doesn't describe any negative reviews. You may want to consider adding one.
• Is there a storyline? Perhaps a brief section or subsection describing the plot can be added (or no section with plot information in gameplay). Of course if it's omitted because the plot is an insignificant part of the game, this isn't necessary. Swarm ^X 05:00, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
